Joeboy Share Hilarous Voice Not From Mom Asking When He Will Get Married

Popular Nigerian singer Joeboy recently went viral after he shared a private voice‑note from his mother, in which she jokingly, yet earnestly pressed him on when he plans to marry. The exchange, loaded with maternal expectation and affectionate teasing, struck a chord across social media.

Joeboy recently posted to his X (formerly Twitter) account saying;

“Can’t believe what I woke up to this morning. Help! I’m in danger 😭”

He followed that with a screen recording of the voice message from his mother, in which she praised his success but then shifted to a different kind of ambition:

“All this your music, blowing up everywhere, enjoyment. Let me tell you, you have blown, no doubt about that. But when will now blow into marriage? Your mates are doing wedding everywhere. What are you doing? I have told all my friends my son will get married soon.”

She also referenced his peers, saying that many musicians around him have already tied the knot. The tone was playful but pointed, a mother’s nudge, wrapped in pride and concern.

The post drew immediate reactions. Some fans laughed in recognition, many have been on the receiving end of similar parental pressure. Comments ranged from supportive to humorous. Joeboy even changed his X handle to “Bachelor” in response to the playful teasing.

Though he usually keeps his romantic life private, Joeboy has occasionally addressed his status in interviews. He has revealed he’s been in a committed relationship for 2–3 years, describing it as “pure, intense, helpless love.” But he’s maintained that he’ll put a ring on it “when I’m ready, no pressure.” He’s also acknowledged a past relationship with what he termed a “sugar mummy.”

Joeboy’s mother’s message illustrates a broader cultural theme, in many African contexts, success and marriage are seen as sequential markers of maturity. Even as one “blows up” in career, families may still expect the next natural step to be marriage.
